    I think it's around 2-3am? Not entirely sure. I always stay up for the Boxing though. No questions asked.

    I see where this is going. You don't like the kid and therefore you won't allow yourself to give him credit, fine. However, Acosta has stopped 22 of his 28 wins. He is by no means a "powder puff". This is the guy that stopped previously unbeaten and game challenger Urbano Antillon. On what basis do you call Acosta a "powder puff"? Or did you just say it because it suits your agenda?

    His punches had no effect on Rios while he was fighting from the outside. He only got close to putting Rios down when he went for it, but he couldn't keep it going and gassed. This is why I said against someone who can bang with him, things will be different for Rios.

    You really hope it's true, don't you? Brandon Rios didn't beat Acosta, Acosta beat himself, right? You make it sound so easy. "Well, y'know, all that Acosta guy had to really do was get on the inside and bang, bang, bang, and things would have been different". If he felt strong enough to that he probably would have done, smokingm.

    What the hell? Acosta's punch power is **** compared to Rios. Acosta was slowly getting broken/beat down cuz without any power you CANNOT keep your opponent honest. And Rios has enjoyed being the power puncher against everyone he's faced in the fights I've seen. Acosta at one point in the fight put it all on the line and traded with Rios and had his ass wobbly. That is a fact. If Acosta was a better fighter and kept the pace up, who knows what might have happened. Instead, he gassed, that's a fact. He stopped punching and Rios made him pay for it. If you ask me, and I'm pretty sure I already said so, I think he's good. I just don't think he's that good.

    You're not a fan. I get it. This conversation can no longer serve a purpose.

    More Soap Opera style promoting that's all is all promotion for this fight and for a rios vs ortiz fight in the future even if ortiz loses because his name will be better known the fight vs rios could still be made

    In the first 24/7 episode, he and his brother were back-and-forth contradicting each other. It was ridiculous!
